Spam calls for papers on Academia.edu

In the last week or so, I have been deluged by “calls for papers” from a variety of similar sounding so-called journals which I don’t think really exist or, if they do, which are exceptionally scammy.

Keep an eye out for:

• International Journal on Bioinformatics & Biosciences (IJBB)
• Machine Learning and Applications: An International Journal (MLAIJ)
• International Journal of Computer Science and Information Technology (IJCSIT)
• International Journal of Microelectronics Engineering (IJME)
• Advanced Energy: An International Journal (AEIJ)
• International Journal on Cloud Computing: Services and Architecture (IJCCSA)
• International Journal of Fuzzy Logic Systems (IJFLS)
• Civil Engineering and Urban Planning: An International Journal (CiVEJ)
• International Conference on Computer Networks & Communications (CCNET)
• International Conference on Bioscience & Engineering

I have reported them all as spam to the platform, but I am not too hopeful about them taking action.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.
